Oklahoma, ** «<c«nd c'uu Mali Matter• at><cr(rlion Prlc« Per YearTHURSDAY, AUGUST 23 1906.JOHN GOUJBIE. EDITOR.Cimarron Water Natatoriuui Guthrie sOpportunity As a Health Resort-Guthrie has an opportunity of being a greatsummer health resort. It has let the chance passby too long. The Cimarron river fllows throughthe great salt plains of tne West and its watersare as salty as the Atlantic. If a great natato-rium were built in this city, it would draw thewhole of Oklahoma, and especially the people ofthe western half, as a pleasure resort as wouldno other amusement feature.It has long been known that the Cimarronriver water, besides being as salty as the sea, hasmedicinal properties that cures all kinds of skindiseases. In the early days, men afflicted withserious blood diseases, who could not afford togo to Hot Springs, have been known to take pre-scriptions from the doctors for internal treat-ment and taken daily baths in the Cimmrron forexternal treatment, and been cured. If properlyadvertised, this tact would bring people fromall the surrounding country for pleasure and forhealth.It would be an easy and not a costly mat-ter to build sueh a natatorium. The basin shouldbe large and the pavillion handsome. It shouldbe built so that fresh water could be pumped in-to it every night and the old discharged throug-ha flume into the Cottonwood. It should beplaced in charge of a man that would keep it so-cially above repute, so that even the motherscould take their babes there to bathe, while so-cial parties and the public could use it as a holi-day.Guthrie will make a mistake if before anoth-er summer it does not build such a pleasure andhealth resort and reap the benefit of a cryingneed for amusement of the great, inland South-west, Excursions would be run here from allover Olkahoma if such were established, and anentirely new pleasure given the people who can-not go to the summer seashore resorts. It wouldprove a Coney Island to the West.iParty Harmony anil Party Honesty.There is much talk about Republican partyharmony after the nominations for congress havebeen made in the First and Second districts, andthe closing up of the ranks for common partvsuccess. But can the party affori to compro-mise with its objectionable elements? If it con-dones corruption can it succeed? Will it nothave better chance of success by condmeninggraft and public conversion in its own partv aswell as others? This was the method PresidentRoosevelt pursued and pursues in his campaignsand afterward in the presidential chair, and thisis the way he is demanding the present nationalcongressional committee carry on its campaign— a refusal of all trust or tainted mon^v.If the Republican organization of the newstate is wise it will absolutely eliminate the rich-grown crowd now fighting to regain supremacyor ru;n the party. It can easier do that thanstand (or their past record and vouch for theirfuture acts. There are not many of them andthe people have them labeled. Th^y are notgreat men, and can be easily dispensed with.They are the left-overs who have been so im-mersed mulcting the territory for their personalprofit that they have failed to grow with growingdemands of the two territories, and are unfittedfor leaders of the coming state.According to President Roosevelt, a cor-ruptiomst is neither a Democrat or a Republi-can, he is a thu f. What the Republican party ofthecomin|gstateJshould do with the few'of its pastleaders who are now trying to win the party forcorporations, with corporation money, is toplace the stamp of public condemnation uponthem for all men to read and so make them un-able to longer cheat the public under the guiseof party loyalty and public patriotism, It willbe more apt to succeed without than with theirhelp.The auto, in coming to the rescue of thepoliticinas when they ca.i no more accept railro, dpasses on their campaigns, will have to make-friends with the farmers cows and sows if thevexpcct to get the farmers vote.♦ ♦ ♦In his last issue of his Watonga Herald Kx-GovernorTom Ferguson threw the responsibilityof the loss of the territorial funds in the failureof the Capital National bank on Treasurer Ram-bo.

The edit >r tthe Register has b fore him the report of tstatehood committee confer ;ice on the Warr aamendment and finds t ir:y-0ne p tges o tne rport devoted to the testimony of Gov ernor I-'ran zbefore the committee. It is a remarkly ablestatement of the conditions under \>. hich ti elands are held by the territory and e ,sed to ihpresent renters and the effect the Warren amend-ment would have upon the rights of the terri-tory and the lessees.To our mind it clearly pro es that whoeverelse may have appeared before the statehoodcommittee protesting against the scheme to robthe territory of its school lands, it was this argu-ment of Governor l*rantz that prevented theWarren amendment from being adopted by thecommittee. To convince others of this fact theState Register proposes to print this testimonyof the Governor, even if, because of its length, ithas to do it in serial form.There is a nigger in the wood pile aboutthat Warren amendment somewhere, or therewoul .n't be such a desire upon the part of theInterior Department to claim credit where creditis not due it. Nothing appears anywhere thatth ■ Interior Department protested against theWarren amendment. The only thing it did wasafter protect was made against it, to send thedata in its possession to the committee showingthe applications made to lease the lands formineral purposes.$7.50$7.50 $7.50Suit Sale OnTo close out all of ourSUMMER SUITSwe have reduced theprice of all our $10aud SI2 Suits toLook in ourThis is a positive and genuine sale-west window and be convinced,*>, 112 W, Oklahoma™ Phone .t6Farquharsonigh Grade ClothierBriefs.The Valparais > eart.hq rake was n<i r"fly as destructive to IIand property1 as that of S in Francisco, these V ngGOO distinctive shoe'.::-.K ng EJward VII of England made55,000,000 on the ilarrirr.an railroadcoup, on which he was feivtn a privatetip by Harriman.Lewis Morrison, the famous portray-or of Mephistonhelis, died in New Yorkfrom an operation.FO'^N'D: At Island Park, a baby's! lace hood, with yellow silk ribbons.; Owner can have by calling at StateRegister office.YOU CAN AFFOKD ITThe chances for living a full centuryare excellent in the case of Mrs. Jen-/lie Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., now70 years old.
